SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We lay before our readers, in another column, an extract from the Montreal Herald of the 4th of No vember, rather in order to show the state to which public feeling has been brought in that country, than for the present to offer any comment on it. Canadian affairs have arrived at the crisis long foreseen by us ; the mission of Lord Gosford and his colleagues has produced only the delay which we deprecated, in deal ing with the intrinsic difficulties of the case ; and it has aggravated the embarrassments arising from the division of the inhabitants of the Lower Province into the two classes of French and English—one claiming the ascendancy of numbers, and the other that of edu cation, intelligence, and property, while both are ap parently alike determined against either submitting to the superiority of the other. The responsibility is now, therefore, thrown upon the Government, to con sider what determination is to be taken on the whole question ; and if they find the consideration rather em barrassing, in addition to the other difficulties . with which they have to deal, they have, for much of that embarrassment, to thank the successive authori ties at the Colonial-office. It is a subject, however, on which abstinence from all comment is the wisest course to take, at least till we see the measures which the necessity of the case must now, we presume, force the Government to. propose to Parliament. Matters in Canada are come to a dead lock—no pub lic functionary is paid, and the French majority have declared that they will take no legislative proceeding in the House of Assembly without obtaining an elec tive Council. The people of English descent say they will not submit to be delivered over to a French ma jority, returned by such a constituency, without con trol or protection ; and we leave the means of corn felling them to such submission, in the present state of the American population, to the devices of those who may suppose such a scheme practicable. The project ascribed to Lord Gosford in the extract to which we refer, but which project we cannot believe to h ave been ever encouraged or sanctioned at the Colonial-office, would, in our opinion, be a hazardous experiment. It would set Canada in a flame. — Morning Chronicle. Justly as we might have been prepared for an attack upon the part of our Tory contemporaries, upon the proceedings of the Reformers of Lambeth on Monday last, regarding Peerage Reform—Justice to Ireland — and confidence in his Majesty's - Ministers—WC could not, by any possibility, notwithstanding the late way wardness of our contemporary the Spectator, have an ticipated a simultaneous attack from that quarter of a more unjustifiable character than any which has ap peared in any of the anti-national journals. We do not wish to attribute to our hebdominal contemporary any " motives" which can possibly result from " an extra squeeze of the hand from greatness"—" the small honour highly felt of feeding with my lady"— " the condescending approval of a coterie whether in country or town"—or the desire of " place for my relation or myaelf," when my party gets into office : no, we speak not of " motives"—we adhere simply to facts—and adhering to them, we declare that a more unfounded report never appeared in any jour nal, than the abridged report of the proceedings of the Lambeth meeting in the Spectator, or more unfounded comments made than those which appeared in the same journal of yesterday. But to the facts—and first as to the report. " Several per sons," says the Spectator, " wished that a declaration in favour of the ballot and suffrage extension should be made ; and the vote of confidence in Ministers was strongly opposed. The noise and tumult were very great. Little that was said could be distinctly heard." The " several persons" alluded to never exceeded twenty-one out of the whole number assembled in a room computed to hold nearly 2,000 persons ; and with regard "to the vote of confidence in Ministers being strongly opposed," there never was a vote in any independent meeting of any public character which was passed with such unanimous applause. Again, " the noise and tumult were very great"—aye, during a small portion of the time certainly, in consequence of certain hired agents of the Tories on the one hand, in the guise of Radicals, and certain indiscreet Radicals on the other, having along with a few persons not belonging to the borough, attempted to interrupt the proceedings of the meeting; but it is utterly false that " little that was said could be distinctly heard." The Chairman was heard from the beginning to the end of his speech, with the greatest attention—Mr. Hardy and his seconder were listened to in the same manner —the resolution of " Justice to Ireland" was carried, not only by acclamation, but without a dissentient voice—and the mover and seconder of a vote of confi dence in his Majesty's Ministers cheered to an extent of which, considering their humble professions of abi lity, and still more humble performances, his Majesty's Ministers might justly be proud. Besides the above mentioned report, there is also a leading article in the Spectator based upon it, we presume, in which the fol lowing misrepresentations are distinctly uttered : " No speech, except the opening one of the Chairman was heard even with patienee (false) —most of the speakers were not heard at all (false) —and after hours Of tumult the rioters dispersed, having passed the reso lutions, indeed, but in a state of languor and dejection." (false). Leaving it to our Contemporary to prove the truth of his allegations, we proceed to give his expla nation ; trusting that on Sunday next he will favour us with distinct proofs of the accuracy of his asser tions, if not also of the source from which he derived a foundation for them. " The whole," says the Spectator, " may be explained by a few words. After the Chairman's introductory speech, some body requested that all the proposed resolutions, which had been prepared by a Committee, should be read at once. One of these was to the effect, that the meeting reposed entire confidence in his Majesty's Ministers. This was the apple of dis cord ; leading to amendment after amendment from those who objected to the resolution—to angry shouts from its supporters, directed against its oppo nents--and to a determination amongst those who were first refused a hearing, that the others should not be heard. All the mischief arose from the bungling of a somewhat Whiggish Committee. No disturbance would have taken place but for the proposed affirma tion of unconditional confidence in the Ministry. It was this hardly fair proposal of a resolution not an nounced beforehand, and not properly relating to the anno unced purpose of t h e meeting, which really de feated the main objects of these Lambeth Reformers — namely, ip e. give an instructi ve express i on t o th e i r f ee li ng upon the subje ct of Peerage,Reform, a n d to set an exam plea which should be followed by other Metropolitan con stituencies." Our contem porary is egregiously mis taken if he believe for a moment, as he has no doubt been such t led to do, that ~ thev a o p t i c )i o e f confidence of discor d : in , I h t is was M n a Majesty's u y e ' h s Ministers" was the ~ thing. A person not belonging to the borough, and, in consequence, having no proceedings,voiceinits ma nnerupon its in truded himself in a most improper attention, and hence the disorder alluded to by our contemporary. Nothing, in fact, can be more false than that the parties, electors or inhabitants of the borough, present at the meeting, were not, with two exceptions—the one in consequence of misapprehen sion, and the other in consequence of the meetnis• not choosing to entertain his opinions—heard with patience. Mr. Fall, who opposed the proceedings, but in a gen tlemanly and orderly spirit, was listened to with plea sure by the meeting ; while, with regard to the meet ing , h , eying been convened by a " Whiggish Commit tee, we put it to our contemporary to say whether the adherents to triennial Parliaments, to vote by ballot, and an extension of the suffrage, come under that c ognomen ? And who, among the Committee who prepared the resolutions, entertain any other sentiments, or ever appeared in the field but in their favour, when policy demanded that they should be enforced ? We pause for a reply.—Morning Advertiser. The last intelligence from Lisbon is of the most un favourable description.

LORD WILLIAM BENTINCK AND The circumstance which has more immediately pro voked this open outbreak of hostilities amongst the parties is the step which the Minister has lately taken, as our readers are aware, to modify the Jacobinical 'ode, called the Constitution of 1822, so far as to sus pend that article of it (the 34th) which makes Ministers .of State ineligible as Members of the Cortes. This was an offence not to be forgiven by the Republicans, who, borrowing flom the first French revolution their ideas of government, persist in asserting that the Executive and Legislative functions are incompatible with each other. Accordingly, M. Manoel Passos, the hero of the last change, has been taken to task for his unconsti tutional concessions, as they are called, and, from being a favourite with the violent party, become an object of their severest animadversions. He has, however, had the manliness to resist the demand made upon him to rescind the decree for suspension, and appears by this firmness, as well as his general zeal and application to public business, to be, notwithstanding the circum stances of his elevation, not unfitted for the important place which he fills in the Portuguese Councils. He is, however, now opposed in every possible way, and the real Government of the country is vested in the factious clubs which abound under various denomina tions. The financial embarrassments increase, and all the means that have been yet devised to redress them promise but very partial success. Our Correspondent is disposed to augur favourably of the intentions of the National Guard ; but this body has already forfeited its credit by the violent measures to which it has lent itself. British influence was at the very lowest ebb in Portugal—so low that it was doubtful whether even a change of Ministers or measu res could redeem it. The Miguelite cause in the Algarves was not pro gressive, but the chief partisan there had been able to establish himself in the mountains, in defiance of the Government forces. The elections for Members of the Cortes had not concluded, but the results were gene rally, though not triumphantly so, in favour of the resent Ministers.—Morning Herald. HIS CONSTITUENTS. (From the Glasgow Chronicle.) At the request of Lord William Bentinck, a public meetinc , of the electors of the city was held on Saturday at one o'clock, in the Justiciary Court Hall, for the purpose of hearing from his Lordship an account of his Parlia mentary conduct. In terms of a previous resolution the magistrates and town council met at one o'clock, for the purpose of presenting his Lordship with the freedom of the city, which the Lord Provost presented to Lord William Bentinck in a neat speech. The magistrates and council then accompanied Lord William Bentinck to the Justiciary Court Hall, where there were a number of gentlemen assembled. The Lord Pro- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1636. vest took the chair. Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK, on proceeding to address ' the meeting, was hissed by several individuals, but the his sing was instantly drowned by loud cheers ; and from dif ferent parts of the Hall calls of " Shame" were repeated. Gentlemen," he said, " I hope you will allow me, before proceeding to the business of this day"—(The uproar con tinued for some time, and it was with difficulty that the Lord Provost could procure a hearing for Lord Bentinck.) Lord Wimast BEwrisimc—Here I am, according to the promise which I made to meet my constituents at the end of the session, and I am most anxious to hear if any body has any complaint against me. I am ready to answer any question which any one has to put to me.—(Calls of " Come outside.") lam most anxious to hear of any duty which I may have to perform, or of any thing to a mend, and if I know my own mind, I know of nothing respecting my conduct in Parliament during the past session. I am deeply sensible of the honour you have conferred upon me, and I must be satisfied that you are not disappointed with me. It would be bad tactics, however, to anticipate any objections which any gentleman may have to make. I may appear, in the discharge of my Parliamentary obligations, to commit many acts of omission, my health not having been vi g orous ; but in respect of principle — in respect of any pledges which I have made, my conscience acquits me of all dereliction of duty here.—(Cheers.) I am here in your hands—l am here your servant if you want any ex planations. My opinion on any subject whatever is com pletely your property, and I am willing to give it.— (Cheers and hisses.) After a few minutes' silence, Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK said—Then may I hope that I have your approbation.—(Cries of " No, no ! " " Yes, yes," and cheers and disapprobation.) A question was then put, why his Lordship had not voted for the abolition of flogging in the army ? Lord NV. BENTINCK said he wished he could answer any question that might be put to him as easily. He might state, without vanity, that no man had done as much as he had done for the abolition of flogging, He was con vinced that the person who put the question did not know what he had done for the abolition of corporal punishment ; he was convinced that before all was past, the questioner himself would beg pardon of him. During the time he was Governor of India, corporal punishment had been abolished not only in the native army, but also in the civil code—a re. form which had noi been effected in any other community whatever.—(Cheers.) Flogging had not been abolished among the British troops ; his authority did not enable him to do that ; but he had sent home to the Government, and to the Board of Directors, a proposition to that effect.—(Cheers.) When, therefore, he voted as be did, they might be assured he acted from a strqng conviction that, in existing circum stances, it was impossible to carry the object into effect. The fact was, thatehefore they could safely abolish corporal punishment, a system of rewards would be required to be established. Punishment and reward should never be se parated ; but in the army, punishment had hitherto been alone resorted to. He had voted against immediate aboli tion ; and he was justified in thus voting, till a substitute was provided. Mr. FULTON asked why his Lordship had been absent when the division took place ? Lord W. BENTINCK said his absence bad been purely accidental. He had been in the House all day, and at the commencement of the debate ; but on the supposition that the debate would last a considerable time, he had between eight and nine o'clock gone out for some refreshment, at which time the division unexpectedly took place. He had expressed his regret at the circumstance next day to Mr. Grote, to whom be said, he would have voted in favour of that motion had he been present. Mr. FULTON—May I ask if your Lordship has yet made up your mind in favour of triennial Parliaments? Lord W. BENTINCK said he was at present inclined to quinquennial Parliaments. The Septennial Act had on an average produced Parliaments of four years' duration, and he believed that were the statutory duration of Par liaments five years, they would be found not to last prac tically above three years. Shorter than this he was not disposed to support. Mr. FULTON next said—l wish to know whether your Lordship is favourable to a 51., to a household suffrage, or to universal suffrage, in order to ascertain wherein, in your Lordship's opinion, the intelligence lies. Lord W. BENTINCK—Do you think there is no difficulty in maintaining what we have got ? Mr. FULTON—That is a mere evasion of the question. Lord W. BENTINCK—Then my opinion is, that this is not the time to press for a further extension of the franchise. —(Much hissing, followed by loud cheers.) Mr. FULTON inquired what his Lordship's views were as to a reform of the Lords : whether or not he was favourable to an organic change of that body: LordWILLIAM BENTINCK said he was satisfied that the House of Lords must be brought into harmonious action with tho House of Commons, and if this was what was meant by a reform of the Lords, he was favourable to such a measure. But he was opposed to organic change.— (Hear.) He was a firm admirer of the British Constitu tion ; and he was convinced that by exercising the powers it gave the Crown, all difficulties would be overcome. — (Hear.) They could not, according to the Constitution, deprive the present Peers of their privileges ; but they might neutralise the bad effects of these privileges by an addition to the liberal portion of the House. They could not enact a schedule A, as they had done with the House of Com mons ; but they might send into the Upper House an over powering majority of liberal members. The present majo rity was composed almost solely of the creatures of the last sixty years : what was to hinder his Majesty from creating as many ? This was ) the only constitutional means of re forming the House of Lords, and if they wished other than constitutional means, he was not fit to be their representative. Mr. TODD wished to know why his Lordship had not voted for Mr. D. W. Harvey's motion for an inquiry into the Pension-list. Lord W. BENTINCK—I have no recollection of such a motion.—(Hisses and cries of " Oh, oh!") Ido not wish to evade the question, and I will say, that if I had been present I would have voted against the motion.—(Hisses.) To settle the question, a compact bad been entered into with the Crown, and that compact ought not to be in fringed on.—(Hisses.) Mr. TODD—WiII your Lordship state why you voted against Mr. Sharman Crawford's motion for the total ex tinction of tithes in Ireland ? Lord .WILLIAM BENTINCK had no recollection of such a motion, but he should have voted against it had be been in the House. As for these theoretical projects, they did harm rather than good. The bringing them forward in disposed quiet people, and did great injury to the cause of Reform. He had voted for the Irish Church Bill, as he would do for any practical measure of Reform ; but he was opposed to every plan of a merely theoretical character. Mr. TODD—In the month of April Mr. Rippon brought forward a motion for the exclusion of Bishops from the House of Lords. Why, will your Lordship say, did you vote against that motion ?--(Cries of " Good, Good !") Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK—I am of opinion that the Bishops might be better out.—(Cheers.) But it is one of those abstract questions which could not succeed just now. In answer to a question relative to Church -rates, his Lordship said lie would be glad were the Church to make that concession to Dissenters, and be would support a measure for the total abolition of Church-rates were it brought forward. In answer to another question on the subject of addi tional endowments to the Church of Scotland, his Lord ship said it was impossible for any thinking man to doubt the fact that in the course of time a change must take place in the religious establishments of the country. At present, as stated by Mr. O'Connell, the nonconformists out-numbered the members of the Established Church. Dr. WALKER proposed a question relative to the last paragraph in his Lordship's address, whether he would re sign if his constituents wished him ?—(Cheers and hisses, which lasted for a considerable times, and the question was unanswered.) Mr. D. BELL moved the thanks of the meeting to Lord Wm. Bentinck for his Parliamentary conduct, for his ap pearance there, and for the attention his Lordship had manifested to their local affairs. Mr. A. CAMPBELL moved, as an amendment, that the meeting disapprove of Lord William Bentinek's vi ews on the subject of an extension of the suffra g e. Dr. WALKER seconded the amendment. The motion was carried by a great majority. ROBERT GRAHAME, Esq„ of Whitehill, moved a vote of thanks to the Lord Provost, and the meeting broke up. Last week Corporation property, to pay the debts of the former Corporation of Devizes, was sold to the amount of 7,0001. Taking the present amount of outstanding Exche quer bills to be 30,0001., the increased interest of penny per 100/. per day amounts to 456,2401., or nearly half a million per annum ; and taking the Bank to be holders of one-third of the whole, its share of the increased interest will be 152,0001, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COMMON PLEAS, DEc. 3. KNIGHT V. PERRY. This was an action for an alleged infringement of a patent obtained by Dr. Arnot in January, 1834, for an improvement in the manufacture of steel pens. The plain tiff was assignee of Dr. Arnot's patent, and the defendant had also taken out a patent for the manufacture of steel pens in September, 1834. The pens made by the de fendant under this patent were those which constituted the infringement. The object of Dr. Arnot's patent, as stated in the speculation, was to give the pen a longi tudinal elasticity, which might enable it to pass smoothly over any irregularities on the surface of the paper, and that object was to be attained by means of a serpentine or cuvilinear spring. The elasticity of the defendant's pen was produced by a straight spring, and the main question in the case was was whether that elasticity was longitudinal as well as transverse. Upon that subject, and upon the question whether the defendant's pen was or was not an infringement of the plaintiff's patent, the w itnesses, amongst whom were persons of great scientific eminence, were directly at variance. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. --- The Oldenburg Gazette contains the detailed ac count of the marriage of the King of Greece to the Prin cess of Oldenburg, which was solemnized on the 22d of this month. A strange rumour is mentioned as prevalent at Paris, that the Emperor Nicholas is insane. If there be truth, indeed, in the paragraph we inserted yesterday, sur rounded as he must be by the assassins of his brothers and their wives, we ought not, perhaps, to wonder at reason giving way, under the daily terror of a violent death. It is stated positively in the Augsburg Gazette that his Chamber lain, Count Orloff, has arrived at Frankfort, and that the Grand Duke Michael, who had made preparations to re main at that city for the winter, has been directed to re turn immediately to St. Petersburg. Another rumour con cerning the Czar is, that he has met with another accident, and has broken his collar-bone. All these matters indicate, we are afraid, that it i 3 expected he will not live long. We know no situation, however humble, where bread or meat can be obtained, which is not preferable to sitting on the throne of the Czar ; and we are frequently surprised that Nicholas, under the influence of the mild German lady to whom he is allied—though if he be insane, we cannot be surprised—does not steal away from St. Petersburg, seek some more civilised abode, and leave his present subjects, if . _ they are so inclined, to slaughter each other.—Morning Paper. A considerable degree of excitement was occasioned in Chepstow, this week, br a warrant being issued against a gay lady, living in lodgings, in Mount Pleasant, on a charge of felony. The police very unceremoniously searched every corner, regardless of the blushes and entreaties of the fair one, and among her treasures found eleven gentlemen's waistcoats, twenty pair of silk stockings, (all new), three gold rings, (one set with :diamonds in blue enamel with Cupid's darts, and Love and Peace engraved upon it.) These last articles were found concealed on the top of the bed. The constables carried off their prize, lady and all, to the great Edismay of an elderly gentleman, who felt most acutely the painful situation, although his own wife was out side the house, waiting to receive him, where she had actu ally been the whole night with the constable, endeavouring to obtain an entrance to her lawful spouse, to withdraw him from the allurements of his fair, but frail companion. —Silurian. TIIE GREAT VAUXHALL BALLOON.—On Sun day week the great balloon arrived in Paris from Weil burg, where, as has been already observed, it descended after its long and interesting voyage from London. The curiosity excited by its novel appearance was excessive at the different places where it stopped to change horses along the road. The balloon and accessories having been packed in the car, the whole was raised upon the springs of a carriage, and being covered in, somewhat in the form of a landau, served as a conveyance for two of the party, Mr. Green and Mr. Monck Mason, who accompanied it to Pads. The hospitable attentions which, we understand, the auronauts received from every description of persons at Weilburg reflect the greatest credit upon the inhabitants of that place, and merit the admiration and observance even of countries preferring greater claims to courtesy and the arts of civilised society. No sooner was their landing made known than every one seemed to vie with each other in bestowing aid or conferring honour upon the enterprisiug strangers. The use of the Ducal menage was immediately tendered for the occupation of the balloon, and military sen tries, more, indeed, as a guard of honour than of defence, posted at the gates and avenues leading to the place of its reception. Public balls, dinners, and other festivals were given in succession, and the thanks and congratulations of the city presented to the aeronauts by a deputation of the principal citizens, headed by their first civil officer, in the form of a document duly signed and sealed by the com petent authorities. Among the festive ceremonies to which the unexpected arrival of this gigantic visitor at Weilburg gave rise we must not omit to mention the ceremony of christening, which took place the day previous to its depar ture ; the Baron de Bibra, Grand Master of the Woods and Forests, and the Colonel Baron de Preen, being the godfathers ; the Baroness de Bibra and the Baroness de Dungerea the godmothers on the occasion. The balloon being then inflated to the greatest size the limits of the place would admit, eight young ladies, accompanied by Mr. Green, entered within this distended sphere, and the name of the " Great Balloon of Nassau" having been be stowed by one of the number, Mlle. Theresa, the lovely and amiable daughter of the Baron de Bibra, accom panied by a copious libation of wine, the ceremony was concluded under presentation of arms, with other military honours, and a collation, consisting of the remains of the various articles which the daring aeronauts had provided in case adverse circumstances, by forcing them to sea or otherwise, should have compelled them to extend the du ration of their voyage beyond its probable or anticipated Between n twelve and one o'clock on Sunday se'enight twmen were working in the shaft of a coal-pit be o lon g to dow n the Mr. Kn ow l e s, at Swinton ; they were about forty yards t t , he shaft, and had cut through the wood of the shaft, for the pit, and fell d purpose of repairing it, when the earthgavewn" immediately gave ow for many yards round the mouth of who.

The next house, in the occupation of Mr. David Lewis, linendraper, had part of the roof burned off and the upper floors seriously damaged. No. 5, occupied by Mrs. Bennett, baker, was also damaged. The fire is said to have been caused by some clothes drying on a horse catching fire. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE (From the Hampshire Telegraph.)

The East India Com pany's brig Tigris has been also sent by the Bengal govern ment for the same purpose. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) DEVONPORT, DEC. 3.—We hear that the Princess Charlotte, 110, will be commissioned by Captain Pym, C.B. She is intended for the flag of the new Commander in-Chief in the Mediterranean. Captain Pym is sup posed to be appointed to this splendid ship merely to enable him to complete a few weeks' time, to make him eligible for his flag, in the expected promotion, which it is understood will come out early after the meeting of Parliament. The promotion will, it is said, extend to Captain Richard Thomas, 22d October, 1805, and will make about 40 Flag Officers ; the remainder are to be placed on the retired list of Rear-Admirals and Captains. This promotion will create the following vacancies :—Three Colonels of Marines (not to be filled up,) saving 2,0701. per annum. The Lieutenant• Governor of the Naval College (not to be filled up), 600/. per annum. Two Yachts, which will be paid off, saving 2,0001. a year. One Captain of Greenwich Hospital ; four Superintendents of Dock-yards ; and one Captain of the Ordinary. His Majesty's ship Conway, 28, Capt. C. R. Drinkwater, made her number off this port on Thursday, and proceeded for the East Indies. The Prince Regent transport, Lieut. Scrymgour, R.N., has put in here, in consequence of a westerly gale. She left Torbay on Wednesday, having, on Tuesday, while riding there, experienced an extremely severe gale from the N.W., during which she lost an anchor and cable, and upset her wind lass. Most of the vessels in the bay drove from their an chors, among the rest his Majesty's ship Conway. One brig was driven to sea, having lost two anchors ; and two vessels were completely dismasted by the force of the hurricane. Appointments to the Woolverine, at Chatham.—Com mander Hon. E.

Prince Canino, who has lately suffered considerable uneasiness from the imprisonment and condemnation of his son, for shooting the garde de chasse, has received, it is stated, an intimation from the Papal Court that the sen tence of death passed on the young Prince will be exchanged for perpetual banishment from the Italian States. The autumn examination of the children in the Cen tral Schools of the National Society took place on Wednes day, the 30th ult. In consequence of the absence of com pany from London, very general invitations were issued to the masters and mistresses of National Schools in the metro polis, and to the parents of the children. The attendance, notwithstanding the wet day, was enough to show the lively interest they took in the Institution. The children's per formance was very creditable. The Seine has risen to the height of nearly five metres, according to the scale of the bridges. The piers of the bridge of the Carrousel are completely under water, and the roofs of the floating-baths are on a level with the quays. A variety of objects, such as straw, fragments of timber, &c., are seen carried down the river. BISHOP BLASE.—The celebration in memory of St. Blase, and in honour of laying the first stone of a new Yarn Factory, took place here on Thursday last, and passed off in a manner well calculated to give public sa tisfaction, and to afford enjoyment to a numerous portion of industrious and deserving operatives. Attracted by the novelty of the promised sight—interested in the associa tion of so popular and splendid a festival with the subject of our local prosperity ; and especially invited to recrea tion out of doors by the favourableness of the weather, the whole active population, and no small portion of the neigh bouring inhabitants, were spectators of this cleverly " got up" and admirably conducted pageant of commemoration, in which the Pagan story of Jason's argonautic expedition to Colchis in search of the Golden-Fleece is singularly dove-tailed into the monkish legend of a Christian Bishop ! Norwich Gazette. On Saturday morning last, a respectable woman, Mrs. Davidson, residing in the Merkinch here, was disco vered in her own house, with her head on the fire, and her body shockingly burned and disfigured.—lnverness Courier. SHOCKING MURDER AT SHEFFIELD.—EarIy on Tuesday morning a horrid murder was committed at Shef field, by Joseph Farmer, a butcher, residing in Far-gate, in that town, on the body of Joseph Wilks, his step-son. The wretched perpetrator of this crime was occasionally much addicted to liquor, and when in that state exhibited all the violence of an insane person. His malignity on these occa sions was principally directed towards his wife and her two sons by a former marriage, produced by a strong impression that he was suffering injury from them in a pecuniary way. On the night in question s being in liquor, he went home about eleven o'clock, and having sat down in a room where his family were at supper, the first thing he did was to put his hand in his pocket and draw therefrom five .51. notes, which he threw into the fire. They were snatched from thence by his wife, who prevented their destruction by im mersing them in some ale which chanced to be on the table. Farmer then took up a table knife and made a stroke at her. A little before one o'clock, two young men passing the house and hearing some noise, approached the shop door in order to discover what was going on when the door opened, and out issued a young man, Wilks, who declared his father had stuck him. Two watchmen being called in, accompanied by Mr. T. Hunt,-burstopen the door of Far mer's house, and secured him. On Wednesday an inquest wa s held before Mr. Badger on the body of the deceased, when it appeared that a wound was inflicted between the fifth and sixth ribs on the right side, which had produced death. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Farmer, when the Coroner issued his warrant fer his com mittal to York Castle. The deceased was about 20 years of age, and was much respected.—Doncaster Gazette. STATE OF TRADE (From the Leeds Intelligencer of Saturday.) TRADE OF LEADS.—The demand for woollen goods is at present much the same as at the date of our last report. Though the trade is considered flat, we believe there is more business doing just now than, with the exception of last year, there has been done at corresponding periods for many preceding years. To avoid overstocking the market, some of the manufacturers have begun to work their mills shorter time ; but, generally speaking, the operatives may be said to be well employed. It is satisfactory to observe the firmness of the Wool Market, notwithstanding the un settled state of the Money Market, a circumstance which has mainly tended to keep up the demand for manufactured goods, and thereby to prevent any undue depression. Bradford Market on Thursday was rather dull ; but not much more so than is usual at this season of the year. The demand for yarn was but limited, yet prices remained firm. In the Wool Market there was rather more business done than last week, at former prices. HECKMONDWICKE.—ThC Blanket Hall continues to be but thinly attended by the merchants from Leeds, Wake field, &c. ; this keeps prices down, in fact, lower in pro portion than the price of wool justifies. Blankets are at a less price than they were at this time last year. KEIGHLEY.—The trade in this town and neighbourhood is still active, no reduction in wages having taken place ex cept in the wages of six quarter weavers, and that but slightly. The woolcombers and all the factories are in full employment, and at good wages. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, Nov, 2S.—There has been another bad market to-day. Though more flannels have been sold this week than last yet the prices have been lower. Wool has been pretty steady, and its price has not varied much from that of last Monday. MANCHESTER.—There was no particular change in the market yesterday. Most descriptions of cotton goods are somewhat dull of sale, but scarcely more so than they com monly are at this season ; twist also is in little demand, except particular sorts for immediate shipment ; this, how ever, is always the case towards the close of the year. There is certainly in some quarters a feeling of uneasiness and distrust arising out of the state of the money market ; but at the same time the best informed persons are decidedly of opinion that trade is essentially in a sound condition, and that no perceptible danger of large failures exists amongst us. There have been within these few days two or three failures in London and Liverpool, by which Man chester houses will suffer to some extent, but we hope' not very seriously.—Guardian. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, DF,CEMBICR 3. There has been a good extent of business done this week, but principally in the early part of it, when the market looked more healthy, and ?Ad. to d. per lb. advance in many instances was ob tained ; this improvement has not since been supported, and we are not, in consequence, enabled to advance our quotations of last week. The Surats at auction yesterday brought prices very similar to the sales by private contract ; but only a small proportion found buyers, and for the Sea Islands there was scarcely a bid. Speculators have taken 2,500 bales of American, but nothing has been done for ex port. 1,000 bales of American, 100 Pernambuco, 150 Bahia, 200 Maranham, and 150 Egyptians were forwarded into the country last month unsold. The imports are-4,955 from the United States, 111 from Marseilles, 2,907 from Pernambuco, 3,068 from Bahia, 61 from Berbice, 5,821 from Bombay; total. 17,623 bales.

Total in 1836 Same period last year Stock. 97,03 i Dec. 1 , 1836 210,330 Same time, 1835 Last week a melancholy accident occurred at Bris tol. Captain Lewis, of the ship Cosmo, arrived there from New York, on Monday, the 28th ult., came and delivered his papers to his merchants, and was proceeding to join his ship again, in Kingroad, in a small boat with two men, when about the Squash, a squall took them, and, sad to relate, they were all three drowned. Captain Lewis was known as a man of high standing, and very much respected. In consequence of the continued frost, there is al ready a great deal of floating ice in the Upper Elbe, which much impedes the navigation ; near the city, too, the quan tity of floating ice has increased. The Dwina at Archangel was covered with ice on the 31st October, in the night, and the navigation for this year entirely closed. This uncom monly early termination of the navigation, and the early ceasing of the arrivals of foreign ships, prevented the con tinuance of the exportation. Above fifty ships' cargoes are ready in the magazines. A thunder storm passed over this town on Tuesday morning between nine and ten o'clock. The lightning was vivid and the rain fell in torrents. The rain fell heavily at intervals throughout the day, and towards the evening the Brook which runs through the town began to overflow, in consequence of the large volume of water which flowed into it from every sourse, and the high state of the Derwent, which prevented it from running off with its usual rapidity. The lower parts of the town along the course of the brook were completely laid under water.— Derby Reporter. Dr. Jackson, of Boston, in the United States, has lately made an analysis of the water of that city, in which analysis he calculates that the inhabitants of that city an nually drink lime enough to make a column of marble forty feet long and two feet in diameter ! The play-actors say it takes a long time to excite the Boston audience. Who can wonder when, according to Dr. Jackson's theory, they must present a mere mass of cold unfeeling marble. No offence to Baltimore, but ought not Boston henceforth to be called the monumental city ?—Philadelphia Paper. During the late gales an unfinished cottage, erect ing in Stockbrook Field in this borough was blo wn down. We observe from the public prints that much mischief has been done in all parts of the country by the violence of the wind and the floods—some districts were completely co vered with water. The state of the roads, even in the best macadamized districts, has not been paralleled for some years. In consequence of the wetness of the whole autumn, followed by snow, frost, and thaw, it is with great difficulty that the mail and other coaches can keep their regular time. The cost of repairing the roads this winter will, it is supposed, double that of any' preceding season for many years.—:-Derby Reporter. On Wednesday night last, the hurricane blew a windmill down at Tatenhill, near Burton, belonging to Mr. Cantrill. One of his men was in the mill when it fell ; he is seriously but not mortally wounded. Mr. Cantrill and another person had left the mill only a few minutes before the mill was upset.—Derby Reporter. SINGULAR OPTICAL DELUSION.---Major Skin ner gives, in his " Overland Journey," the following re markable instance of this delusion :—" About noon (he says), the most perfect deception that can be conceived ex hilirated our spirits, and promised us an early resting place. We had observed a slight mirage several times be fore, but this day it surpassed all I have ever fancied. Al though aware that their appearances have often led people astray, I could not bring myself to believe that this was unreal. The seeming lake was broken into several parts by the little islands of sand that gave strength to the delu sion, the dromedaries of the shieks in advance at length reached its imaginary borders, and appeared to us to have commenced to ford. I thought they had got into deep water, and moved with great caution. In passing over the sand banks, their figures seemed reflected by the water. So convinced was M. Culman of its reality, that he dismounted and walked towards the deepest part of it, which was on the right hand. He followed the deceitful lake for a long time, and to our sight was strolling on its bank, his shadow stretching to a great length beyond. There was not a breath of wind ; it was a sultry day, and such a one as would have added dreadfully to the disappointment, if we had been long without water." PARIS POLICE Duclos, a postilion of the royal mail, was charged with refusing to obey the gend'armes in the Avenue de Neuilly and with having insulted tam. The officer on duty said there was a great crowd in the Avenue de Neuilly, in consequence of the King being expected to pass. I saw at a distance a mail-coach, drawn by four horses, coming at a smart gallop. The people were alarmed at the danger of being run over, and they called to me to stop the postilion. I gave orders to stop the passage, but Duclos disregarded what I said, and he broke his way through my men, abusing us, and flogging his horses the more we tried to stop him. Duclos---Why did you attempt to stop me? As for insult you complain of, I only told you that you did not know your business, and that I knew mine. I must arrive at a given time. I know nothing more than that. The PRESIDENT—What, do you think you can laugh at the authority of the police ? Duclos—That is your affair and not mine. I came to the Carousel in a smart trot. At the Arc de Triomphe I began to gallop, and on the Quay I went as fast as I could. I saw well enough the officer, who made signs to me to go gently ; but, bah, I only went the faster. The more signs they made the more I flogged the horses. A smart fellow it would have been that could catch me. Yes, I gave them the death triple gallop. PRESIDENT—This is quite a novel defence. Duclos-1 only know the orders of my directors. I had 30 minutes to go from the Rue Jean Jaques Rousseau to Courbevoie. That is all I know. I must do it in the time ; if I take one minute more I am turned away. I have children to feed ; I can't to without galloping. It. is the regulation. PRESIDENT—Your orders don't give you the right to - ride over people. Duclos—That is very fine talking on your part. I have but thirty minutes allowed me, and I must do it in the time. PRESIDENT—It is in consequence of similar orders that an administration had lately to pay 30,000 francs. Duclos —lt is very Fl i ossible, I say nothing to the contrary. only know that I must obey orders ; and if I don't kill ten people a-day that's their luck, and not my fault. All I know is, that nothing will prevent me going at a gallop when I come to the Arc de Triomphe. The defence did not avail Duclos, and he was fined wenty-five francs. Sir William Molesworth, in a letter recently ad dressed to the IVest Briton, says—" As a member of the Government, which has declared itself hostile to the Ballot, I cannot support him (Sir H. Vivian) without an assurance that Ministers will make the Ballot an open question. This assurance, I regret to say, I have not yet obtained. The conduct of the Government in refusing their assent to this course is most preposterous and unjustifiable. A majority of their supporters are in favour of the Ballot, and during the last two sessions it was only by the aid of the Tories that Ministers were enabled to defeat their friends. It is nonsense to talk about union, when Ministers set at defiance every principle of union, by acting in this manner. The consequence is that many of those who were most favourable to them are now becoming indifferent. I regret this con duct extremely, more especially as, if persisted in, it m ust prevent my supporting a gentleman for whom I have so high. an esteem as Sir H. Vivian." REPRESENTATION OF BURY ST. EDMUND'S.-- A few weeks tince, we had occasion to make some obser vations on the anomalous condition in which the electors of this borough are placed by the return of one Liberal, and one Tory member, to represent their interests in Parlia ment. We then called their attention to the fact, not only to keep it before their eyes, but also to remind them of the promises which they unhesitatingly made to Mr. Aglionby, the Hon. Member for Cockermouth, in the pre sence of their own Liberal Member, Lord Charles Fitzroy, to cast off the fetters of their benumbing thraldom, -when ever a fit and proper opportunity should offer itself. Onr . p res ent object is to remind them that that opportunity is assuredly approaching. It is rumoured, that Earl Jermyn intends to throw up the Representation of the Borough, and to dare a contest for the Representation of Westera Suffolk. But the Electors of Bury must not be lulled into fancied security by this piece of intelligence.—Sufo/k Chro nicle. The story of a robbery near the seventh mile stone on the Uxbridge-road, between Hanwell and Southall, is only the revival, verbatim, of a lie a twelvemonth old. This. lie was discovered last year by there being no such person• known at Kensington Gravel-pits as the one said to hale been robbed ; and to the fact of the seventh mile stone on the Uxbridge-road being among the houses at Ealing. There was no particular change in the Manchester market on Tuesday. Most descriptions of cotton goods are somewhat dull of sale, but scarcely more so than they corn- . moray are at this season ; twist also is in little demand, ex cept particular sorts for immediate shipment ; this, how ever, is always the case towards the close of the year. There is certainly, in some quarters, a feeling of uneasiness and distrust arising out of the state of the money market ; but at the same time the best informed persons are de cidedly of opinion that trade is essentially in a sound core dition, and that no perceptible danger of large failures exists among us. It was confidently stated yesterday t', 3 at another Cumberland bank had been compelled to sustain its payments ; but, in the absence of positive information , we abstain from more specifically alluding to the establish ment. —Manchester Guardian. The legal tribunals of Berlin are at present occupied . with a case perhaps as extraordinary as ever came w ithin the cognizance of a court of justice. Some months ago_ mystical sect, called by the populace the Muckers (the Sal'. lens) was discovered at Konigsberg. Many of the a depts , of this saturnine coterie belong to the provincial aristocracy , and some of them are members of the Protestant clerg y Their c r eed consists principally in the belief that the spirit is free, and can be merely tempted, not vanquished, by the flesh ; and, consequently, that its purity is in proportion to its ability to resist, not to renounce, the Devil and all his works. Unfortunately, the professors of this doctrine, to prove that their practice was in strict conformity with their practice, voluntarily exposed themselves to temptations of nature too gross to be recorded even in the most licentious . pages that ever polluted the heart. One of their late fiber" rations consisted in the notion, that a new Redeemer was necessary to save the world, and that the Holy Spirit must again become flesh, and effect another miraculous coneelr tion, could a female be found sufficiently pure to personat e the Virgin Mary. In consequence of this reasoning, th e Muckers recently proceeded to select, by lot, the female oa whom was to devolve the office of contributing towards the redemption of sinful mankind, and also the male member °l , e the sect who was to play the part of Joseph, the husband Mary. The part of the Virgin fell to the lot of an elderly: Countess, and that of Joseph to a broad-shouldered Mail of Dragoons. For reasons on which it is needless to dwell too minutely, it became absolutely necessary to modify,to - as far as regarded the lady, and to select a net' Virgin, the personification of whom devolved this time uP°ll - young Baronness, 16 years of age, who, however, formak refused to supplant her venerable predecessor. The sec; attempted to employ force, but the youthful Countess nally succeeded in escaping to the residence of her broth 4ro who denounced the true blievers to the authorities. Th e _ latter have since arrested two ecclesiastics, and several o tber, Muckers, and have employed the necessary legal m easur9 s to dissolve the sect, NI the crimes and offences of which th e Consistory and the Judicial Tribunals are now called ll P ° ' to decide.—Galignaas Messenger. „„,.
